Will gladly do so if you hand me over a Plaid. 😁🤞👍

Just depends on when my failure would’ve occurred. I very well could’ve gotten it serviced had it been earlier vs late ‘23. There have been positive stories. That’s why I’m ok with where things stand now. Come December I would’ve gotten everything I expected out of the 2yr contract.

I doubt it’s against you/your situation specifically, rather this whole saga. I bought my service plan 6mos after you, so am in “worse” shape so to speak. But as I’ve stated early on in this thread, I figure since I haven’t had to make a claim against the plan, ie battery ok (knock on wood!)...

Honestly don’t think nitrogen vs air would’ve made any difference with that wild of a swing along with being in that frigid env for a week. If you want to refill with nitrogen, that should be easy as even Costco tire fill up stations offer nitrogen.

This all boils down to the stigma associated with Recalls. Prior to the rise in software use/dependency in cars, recalls were almost exclusively tied to mechanical safety defects. So when the headlines now only say “Tesla recalls every car ever made”, folks are alarmed until they read further...

What am I missing? It’ll be Feb. 8th 2024 shortly, ie you’ve gotten your two-years worth of service plan duration. Or did you have a failure and didn’t get resolution?

The pic you attached shows you have a s/w update waiting. Unless you’re specifically wanting to stay on an older version, I’d update and see if things improve.

Strange/things keep getting weirder. Are you saying it won’t stay in low or very high? That rules out the leveling sensors because unless one or two corners are off, having all four die at the same time is highly unlikely. To answer your previous question, I’d stick to OEM Tesla. I went through...

Unfortunately this is a tell tale sign the compressor is going. It will eventually seize and the red icon won’t go away. 😂

Wow, we’ve made the leap to Manslaughter vs Murder? While certainly not an apologist for 057, I’m a realist that the company went out of business (in whatever way, shape, or form), so if I want to recoup the leftover portion of the $2k already paid, I should pursue a claim, just like other...

Meh, the louvres opening helps, but it’s not like the lower frunk area is sealed. Chargegate is intentional slowing of the charge curve to protect our old batteries. At least put more margin by taxing them less with lower peak rates.

I’ve had this issue for years and I’ve deduced it is indeed due to interference from LED lights as @krsgio stated. The streetlights in my neighborhood were converted to LED, but in never made the connection until scratching my head about why only at night. My son’s leaf has issues as well. I’ve...

Warranty wording aside, the coolant tank is nothing special, just like the washer fluid bottle. Check the level once you remove the frunk. If it’s drastically low, you know you have a big problem. If it’s marginally low, either top it off to your liking since there’s no sensor that tells Tesla...

You have a coolant warning and want Tesla to tell you at what point does it become “catastrophic”? There aren’t progressively escalating warnings. It’s your call. Play it completely safe and don’t drive until your appt, monitoring the ground as you have done, or drive it short distances. Again...

Not making excuses for 057/Jason with my responses. Just being realistic. The key here is that times have changed due to the interwebs providing both an avenue for a vendor to establish their business as well a direct comms link with end customers (posts, DMs, etc.). Look at the myriad of wheel...

Wow, you get a dedicated EVSE and parking spot to boot for a flat monthly fee? Never heard of that model as I’d think the complex wants a higher revenue stream from multiple users. Do you have to pay to charge on top of the monthly fee, ie maybe you could “sublet” your spot and charge others...

You need to go to the car/EVSE when this happens and see what is displayed when you try to restart the charge. Display as in both the charge port (what colors) and/or the Xeal screen. You don’t mention which app you’re talking about. Assume this is a pay station so you certainly can’t start the...

I know, but what to do but wait. More posts about “Still nothing” ain’t gonna speed things along.

It’s already been stated he cannot say anything further [read: NDA].

Sorry for the late response. Yes, I’d try cycling through the diff height settings and see if things work normally. On days that the light turns on, is the car level? Purging is when the valve block releases excess air. You’ll hear a whooosh sound.

Meh, I don’t think it’s that detrimental to warrant hard wiring. Having them open during supercharging is absolutely beneficial, but even if they remain closed the air does have a pace to go (front end not a totally sealed env). Tweet at Elon for a fix? Please include turning the auto wiper freq...

Really tough to say now. If it does run sometimes for most of the day, then I assume you also hear purging because the air has to go somewhere. When this happens, are there breaks at all because it’s supposed to therm trip for self preservation. If not then the internal temp sensor is fubar and...

Not sure what you’re talking about in terms of “rust as designed to do”. If you have rusted pins and/or retainer springs, just stick to asking for replacement options without the fanfare. If you live in a climate that’s conducive to rust (salt use for example) than more maintenance is required...

While I understand everyone wanting answers asap, it’s clear that’s just not possible at this point in time. Jason chiming in with what he has already is enough for me to wait. The rest is just speculation, including LLC vs not etc. There’s always a lawyer out there to take up any case...

Eek. All sorts of new tidbits. 😀 I’m thinking it’s not the compressor just yet now. You got the error a week before suspension work most likely because of the flaky relay. Once you replaced it, one thing down. With the installation of the camber arms, depending on which brand, how they were...

Thanks for the details. What I meant was that they are false-positives in terms of people interpreting them as the louvres are bad/have failed. A software issue for sure as you’ve pointed out Toolbox reset has worked for you. Mine still open when when my car’s in the garage, but not while...

I’m more concerned about “the bolts holding the rear control arms fell out”. That’s pretty catastrophic to me. Car drove fine with no violent vibrations etc.?

Good to know. So the wait continues on 057 Tech’s fate. If it’s been sold vs just shuttering, there’s still upside there I guess.

Bought a battery module from him? Didn’t know he sold individual modules. “He also repaired five batteries I bought from 057”???? Hmmmmm….

Don’t overthink it. 80% max for daily use. If you don’t need that much and prefer to lower, go for it. Key is to not charge to 100% unless absolutely needed and when you do, drive soon after vs letting it sit at full charge. For older cars, as mentioned above, the battery coolant heater will...

The only thing you need to confirm is charging options when getting off the I5 corridor. Looks like you’d start heading west/southwest after Grants Pass. Use ABRP and see what your options are.

Wow, that’s actually good news. Not catastrophic then. All depends on how much time you want to put into diagnosing. I’d start with just the rear, but since this only happens once/month, this route will drag things out. I have time on my hands and like DIY so personally, before replacing, I’d...

It’s because he’s actually delivered up until recently - long time/respected members here upgraded packs, actually received service, etc. Obviously, I too am concerned as I’ve paid for the extended warranty as well, but squarely put this in business-challenges category vs “he’s scamming...

Then def not a leak so I wouldn’t go chasing that. So the car levels it self back to normal after how long of being in the weird state? I don’t recall anyone here actually having a sensor go bad, but they are cheap compared to the compressor. I don’t want to steer you down a bunch of paths to...

Does the rear slowly sag throughout the month or is it once/mo the rear is slammed and the front is jacked up “all of a sudden”? If the latter, then my bet is either a bad height/leveling sensor or, ultimately the compressor still.

It wasn’t just a one-off event of it getting stuck? I’ve had even the stock one get stuck a few times due to timing/handshake of when I release the L2 handle. Just plugged the handle back in or used the app to force unlock (I know you tried that). Come to think of it… I may have an extra...

Previous owner didn’t include it?

Why not stick with stock/OEM? They aren’t that expensive?

Side to side rotation does nothing for you. The tread is still in the same position, ie inner tire wear will still be there, just on the other side of the car. The only way to extend the life of the tires is by unmounting them and flipping, assuming you have non-directional/asymmetrical tread...

Not even that. My previous record was 118KW for about a minute. This trip, I think it was Redding or Firebaugh where I arrived with like 4%. I actually saw 128KW, but it’s really a don’t-care because it lasted for less than a minute. Bottom line is we need to spend on avg 40mins per stop. More...

For those wondering whether pre-facelift cars, even with batterygate and chargegate, are still viable for road trips, I say YES! Std disclaimer applies tough - if your top intent is to get to Point B as fast as possible, an EV (and certainly a nosecone car) is not the right choice. My P85D and...

Just recently completed a roundtrip. Longest trek I've ever done with the car. Countless trips to Seattle when Centralia, WA was the sole midpoint SC. Basically this is a straight shot down Interstate5. I did very little planning as the I5 corridor is so saturated with SCs these days that there...

Sorry to hear that. You would prob have to remove the fender liner in order to see the top of the strut where the air line attaches. Start with the valve block naturally since that’s easily accessible. Then make sure the leveling sensor themselves aren’t damaged somehow. Strange that the front...

At this point, unless you notice one or more corners dropping, the compressor is most likely the culprit.

You’re not going to. Jason’s been very clear that BMDs are lowest priority right now. Just reality at this point in time. And as @Moorebid joked about above, your July date ain’t got nothing on others… like me. 😀

Did you send it after logging in? Just wanna see Jason’s instructions play out. Sorry you’re having to be the guinea pig with a bum pack.

And that fixed your steering wheel being off-center?!?! That’s why I asked because I thought it’d be the front link.

Thanks, Jason. So to confirm, if existing ESP folks like me end up having an issue, our reach-out via login/contact-us is the bat-phone I joked about earlier? Good to know. So I’m not going to conjecture here as to whether @Lasttoy ’s issue is what you’re referring to or not, but all they’ve...

Front toe arm? Which side?

Oh, man. Now this is not good, and worrisome to put it mildly. This points to something business-catastrophic like sudden loss of capital to operate, e.g. lawsuit or other. Jason has always come across as a standup guy and real testimonials from longtime members here. He did chime in recently...
